Swedish libraries have started using LCP in the name of "accessibility" and don't allow downloads of books anymore (even though it would be possible using LCP, see Thorium et al.). Their reading app/website is so basic as to make Kindle look super customizable.

Congrats! Now your books are so accessible that they're impossible to read.

(As we all know, being able to customize fonts or margins is inaccessible and EVIL!)

All DRM is bad and I really dislike these readium fellows in particular due to their hiding behind "open source" and "accessibility". "If we're not doing it, somebody even worse would be in charge!" Yeah, I'm not buying it.
LCP makes eBooks inaccessible instead of more accessible.
